“Meditation is a private retreat from the problems of
the world"
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
The pursuit of happiness is so
fundamental to human nature that in the Declaration of Independence it is
termed an “inalienable right.” Yet, when it comes to teaching us how to
achieve happiness, our parents and teachers have traditionally directed our
attention out into the world, toward relationships, activities, and
possessions. A fair question we may ask is have we
become happier with the passage of time, and is our happiness lasting?
For those of us who are still searching for a way to find lasting
happiness, or even the meaning of life, an answer comes from the tradition
of Jyoti Meditation.
Physical relationships and material things do not last, but, if we invert
our attention back to the source of our own consciousness, we will
experience bliss, and that bliss will be lasting.
Jyoti Meditation is the
practice whereby we focus our attention at a point between and behind the
two eyebrows, and maintain that focus without the distraction of thought.
That focus, the source of our own consciousness, is traditionally termed
“the seat of the soul.” When we meditate in this way, we will see inner
light, and experience ourselves as being one with that light. Such an
experience confers lasting happiness. We need not renounce the world, but
we do need to add the value of spiritual meditation to enrich our lives.
